Learning Talmud

Welcome to the Learning Talmud Wikibook. Aim of the Book The Learning Talmud Wikibook is a heavily annotated version of the Babylonian Talmud, aimed at increasing readers' ability to read the text itself. Rather than presenting a direct or transcluded translation of the text (ala Wikisource's Mishnah Tractate Berakhot), the Learning Talmud Wikibook will present the Talmud text as a series of hyper-linked terms, using footnotes to translate entire sentences. This will allow students to build their Aramaic reading skills as well as their ability to interpret the text. A Demonstration of the Learning Talmud Wikibook Methodology Here is a sentence from Bava Batra 58a, presented in the textbook's schema. Some readers may find this example familiar, as it is used in the first lesson of David Marcus's A Manual of Babylonian Jewish Aramaic. ר' בנאה הוה קא מצייו מערתא L Nonfiction literature 0%
